Do the 40k a year job and get a part time job. There ya go.

A few of my friends have asked me why I don't get a job that pays me for the job that I do. But, I've got such a cake job that it's hard to justify actually "working" someplace else at the moment. lol

I've also thought about picking up a part time someplace as well. I'm not really short of money, but I think we could all use more, right? Then I realize that I wouldn't find much more than minimum wage - could maybe find something for $10 an hour. That just isn't worth it for me in the long run. It seems I don't have enough time for things as it is - let alone if I have to schedule around 2 jobs.

Guess I'll just have to live without a diffuser on my car.

Hah, that's why as much as I dislike being at bestbuy and working the hours I do, I won't complain come payday, plus the discount. My room mate recently bought a 60" Samsung 7000 Series plasma for 1700....it retails for close to 3k. But other than TVs we don't really get any big discounts on anything with so little margins anymore But for now I'll keep bringing in my goods

look what i saw today! hahah

chatted with him for a while. MAN that car has a lotta issues. I kinda felt bad for the dude.
but i did find out why my car wasnt making power. HE did a lotta diagnostics, turns out 1 of the spark plugs was barely even in, so it wasnt firing... hence my wierd idle and lack of power... and then the car is not delivering fuel after about 5500rpm, which is why i wasnt beating a stock z/g on the hwy. oh my god.... he got most of the things fixed, cept the fuel thing he has to get tuned to check. he also sent in the supercharger blower to get rebuilt by vortech

that car will be a beast soon. he;s fixed the clunk in the suspension, window motor, ac, gauges, and claybarred it. once he gets it running, its gonna be bad azz!!

^^^That right there is exactly why I couldn't sell my car locally unless it was completely back to stock. Running into it would otherwise break my heart...

Didn't break my heart at all. Made me happy it went to a guy who is cherishing it for what I made it. Makes me proud honestly. And I definitely didn't have any second thoughts.

That's the difference between having moved on on and not on a different note, I've never been a fan of mercedes but came across a video of the new C63 AMG coupe and I have to admit... That car looks damn good to me (price aside). Can't wait to see the new M3 sedan/coupe.
